BIG NEWS!

Mommy posted something on her blog! 

Skipping

I'm just too behind on posting all of his pictures. So I've decided to do the lazy thing and only post the important days ... like the day he went to the beach, etc. Until I have caught up.

Cause darn I JUST don't have the time! Once I finish this big project at work I will probably have time to post but until then ...

No one's gonna miss them cause God knows I post WAY tons of pictures of him as it is. :D

It just feels like a loss to me ... cause basically I have chronicled his whole life here (almost every day!) and now a chunk of it is going to be missing! WAAAAAA

But oh well.

Happy Birthday Daddy

Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you very much and hope you had a very fun day!

We hope you like your present.

Much love,

Mommy, and Papoosie

17 weeks

I'm a whole 17 weeks old today!
I'm BIG! I'm CUTE! I'm PAPOOSIE!!

First I wanna say congrats to Auntie Sara and Uncle Cesko ... my long awaited baby girl has arrived!!! Future girlfriend potential? Perhaps perhaps! I am gonna go meet her real soon! Welcome to my world Olivia! I would post pictures but mommy hasn't shown me any because she wants it to be a surprise when I meet her for the first time! (I think she's just saying that because she actually doesn't have any)

Mama's gonna post about my progress in a few days. But I don't care to keep track so much ... I'm just living every day to the fullest by doing my best in every moment ... whether it be crying, or pooping, or drinking, or sleeping, or playing, ... I'm a DEDICATED baby!
And I love to outgrow my clothes ... so I can wear NEW ones!
(Or go nekkid of course!)

14 weeks and vaccinations

Cutie Papoosie is 14 weeks today. And before I say anything more, I want to say a big Congrats to Arielle and Faye for their Sweetie pie! He's so big and cute and I really want to meet him someday! I think right now he looks more like Faye but I know how fast babies can change! Congrats to both of you and the new little one!

Anyway, so its been a mellow week ... he's generally been happy ... spent a lot of time with Papa this week cause Mom had a lot of work to do.

Then yesterday, we took him to get his vaccinations. I had had a rough night with him the night before so I had been sleeping from 5 a.m., and Papa brought the baby to me to nurse at around 7:30, and I found out THEN that they were going to take the baby for vaccinations! They were gonna go without me! I was like ... no way(!) are you taking MY baby to get vaccinated without me! He needs his mama!

So I dragged myself out of bed and dressed and went to the doctor. Papoosie was SUCH a trooper! Let out ONE shrill yell at the beginning, and they quickly scooped him up and passed him to me for comfort, and then he only cried a little on his second shot. It was soooo kawaiisou he was just whimpering on my shoulder ... not yelling like he usually does ... just whimpering and sobbing, and curled up so tight against me (he knows how to hug our neck with his other hand and not let go!) ... awwwwww. Anyway he fell asleep pretty fast after that and spent the whole day pretty much knocked out. We tried to keep the fever below 38 by giving him fever med when the fever started rising again (about every 4 hours). He wanted to be held all day, and would cry if put down. But oh gosh he was a heat sack ... but of course I held him ... it was sooooooo kawaiisou how he just wanted to curl up and hug me and be hugged. Even in his sleep he would whimper ... it was so sad and so cute. Anyway, I stayed up all night with him this way, because I guess he was feeling better, but he still had a 38 pretty much all night, so he would wake up every 30 minutes to be held and rocked ... He didn't drink anything almost all day, but we sort of expected that so we didn't push him too much. Just tried to feed him every couple of hours, and he would take maybe 20-40 ml at a time.

Today he did a bit better. Had a 38 almost all day but was more active and alert than yesterday. His leg doesn't seem to hurt too much anymore either, which is nice.

Oh, and ever since a week or two ago he stopped going poo every day, and would go one HUGE one every 3-4 days. Well, the 5th day just happened to land on today, and he's been a huge poop machine all day ... and this is kind of gross, but the texture of it is like SUPER creamy ... if someone didn't know it was poop, it would look like some super creamy chocolate cream or something. AHAHAHA TMI ...... the point is that also the exertion of trying to get out all this BM has made him extra cranky as well ... so he's been crying and feverish pretty much all day.

Tonight we've decided to give him sleep med so he will sleep better tonight.

I mentioned in his week 12 update how he has this board of black and white images that he just LOVES ... here's a picture of it.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!

Psssst Daddy! Happy Father's day! We like you very much and think you're a keeper! Congratulations on your first father's day and I can assure you that I'm not going anywhere so you'll have to prepare yourself to celebrate at least 18 or so more! Thank you for taking such good care of me and playing with me when mama can't. And thanks for teaching me about the girls.
We love you, papa!

Love,
Aiden and mama

Congratulations A.Jan and U.Josh!

Yay! My friend Brian is finally here! Mommy's friend A. Jan had a hard labor but now I have a new friend! Thank you U.Josh and A.Jan for making him for me!

Now this is not Brian ... mom didn't get a picture of him yet ... but here I am to welcome him into the world!

Welcome to the world buddy!!! 

5th checkup and first time outside

On the 5th I had my 20 day checkup! So I was bundled up like so ... 

... and taken outside for the first time since coming home from the hospital! 

I now weigh 3,500 grams with a wet nappy and one romper. Apparently I'm still too small to measure how tall I am, so I'm going back to the clinic in 2 weeks to get my height checked, and get some new vaccinations! 

I'm growing up and out pretty fast eh? I'm gonna be a chub ball in no time!

Welcome

Hello friends, family, strangers ....

I didn't want to turn make a profile for a baby on FB, and I didn't want my profile to turn into 'the baby's place' either, so I decided to make him a blog ... after all, now I can post videos, pictures, and stuff ALL about him to my heart's content ... cause this is HIS world and you are all just visiting!

So enjoy ... (at least I hope you do!) and feel free to leave any comments or messages.
